Abstract

Spirogyra species is an important genus of filamentous green algae (Chlorophyta) in showing its antimicrobial activity against number of bacteria and fungi. In present study the effect of Petroleum ether, methanol and chloroform extract of Spirogyra species was screened against three bacteria and three plant pathogenic fungi for their level of antimicrobial potential. Thin layer chromatography was used to assay for the compounds and pure fractions obtained were tested for their antimicrobial property and were found to be effective on the entire test organism except for Clavibacter sp. and Curvularia sp.
